Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Zhang Dabao and Liang Ladi went back to her parents' home, and returned to the city in the afternoon. They sat in the office of Yang Weihua of the Industrial Machinery Department and gave him holiday gifts. In the evening, Yang Weihua also invited Zhang Dabao to dinner, so Zhang Dabao returned to No. 95 Courtyard.

"Seventh Uncle, have you been drinking again?" When Jia Dongxu arrived at the backyard, he was standing in front of Zhang Dabao's house. When he saw Zhang Dabao coming back, he went to greet him.

"We're at the department. Isn't it cold outside?" Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu.

"Leng, Uncle Cao from the police station came to see you this afternoon and said he would treat you to a drink tomorrow night. He also brought you some medicinal wine." Jia Dongxu said and ran back home and brought the medicinal wine to Zhang Dabao's house.

"It seems that Brother Cao's matter has been settled," Zhang Dabao said.

"What's the matter?" Jia Dongxu followed in and saw Zhang Dabao wanted to heat the kang, so he went to the kitchen to get some firewood.

"As for the director's matter, Brother Liang has been transferred to the bureau, and Brother Cao is the director now," Zhang Dabao replied to Jia Dongxu.

"Uncle Cao became the director? Wasn't he promoted to deputy director not long ago?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"You've made a great contribution again, but what do you know? Would you like some tea?" Zhang Dabao replied to Jia Dongxu and made a cup of tea for his nephew.

"Uncle Zhang" There was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, it was Liang Fei's son Liang Gang, holding some wine and snacks in his hands.

"Liang Gang is here, come in quickly. How is Brother Liang now? When we were celebrating at the police station yesterday, everyone said that Brother Liang's good deeds will be rewarded and he will make progress." Zhang Dabao pulled Liang Gang to sit down and asked Jia Dongxu to make tea.

"My father asked me to come and thank you. Not only did I avenge him, but I also benefited from you. It was all thanks to you and Uncle Cao that he was able to get to the police station this time," said Liang Gang.

"What are you taking care of? Did he find the clue? Was he shot? We can't shed blood and tears. But it's a pity that he may not like the job he is in charge of in the bureau," said Zhang Dabao.

"I like it. My father likes it very much. He became the deputy director and also served as the chairman of the trade union, in charge of logistics. It's great," said Liang Gang.

"As long as you like it, I also work in a trade union. The trade union is actually quite good. The level is high, the salary is not bad, and there is not much work to do. I especially like such a good thing." Zhang Dabao smiled, and Liang Gang smiled with him.

After chatting for about ten minutes, Liang Gang stood up to say goodbye. Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu to go to the kitchen to cut a large piece of mutton and took two bundles of leeks to Liang Gang.

"Seventh Uncle, are you going to help too?" Jia Dongxu didn't say anything just now, but now he heard something wrong.

"He went to the police station to make a living and was kept there by Uncle Zhang and Brother Cao. Liang Gang's father was shot." Zhang Dabao said.

"Who was shot?" He Yuzhu and He Yushui pushed the door open.

"Director Liang was shot, but the person was caught. After Director Liang recovered, he was transferred to the branch as deputy director, and Brother Cao became the director," said Zhang Dabao.

"That's what I thought. Captain Cao came to the yard several times in the past two days, and scared the third uncle so much that he didn't dare to go to the black market. He came to see you this afternoon and said he wanted to treat you to a drink," said He Yuzhu.

"You drink every day, what's so good about alcohol? It seems that there will be a lot of people tomorrow. You can't drink in moderation, but they all like to drink, just like you," Zhang Dabao said to Jia Dongxu.

"I can't drink. My mother is very strict now. Uncle, will you go back to Zhangjia Village before the New Year?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"The factory will hold a commendation meeting tomorrow, and there will be one day left the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year. Do you want to go back to your hometown? Won't your sixth uncle and his family go back?" Zhang Dabia asked.

"My sixth uncle and his family are going back tomorrow afternoon. Shou'an came to me today and told me so. It would be nice for me to go back with them, but I don't want to stay. It would be best if I come back the same day. I have to go back to see my third uncle too," said Jia Dongxu.

"You've made progress compared to last year. It's time to go back and visit your third uncle. It looks like Brother Youcai's family isn't having an easy time either," said Zhang Dabao.

"Isn't it? He has many children and the harvest is not good. Some time ago, I asked someone to bring some food back to him," said Jia Dongxu.

"It's enough to have this filial piety. Your uncle's family is much better off this year than last year, so there's no need for you to be filial to him. You are just an uncle, and it's your duty to take proper care of him. I'll go back with you the day after tomorrow and visit the grave. I was still living at the grave during the New Year last year. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and a year has passed just like that," said Zhang Dabia with a sigh.

"Brother Zhuzi, Yushui, let's go to Baoding after the New Year," Zhang Dabao turned around and said to the He brothers and sisters.

"Going to Baoding? That's good, but will it delay your business?" He Yuzhu said.

"No delay. Go see him. It's not good for him to be there alone. What if something happens? I still have something to discuss with him then. See if he can come back. If he can't come back, I want to take him out," said Zhang Dabao.

"It's great that you can come back. Now everyone's life is better," He Yuzhu said with a sigh.

"Those who don't come back must have their own secrets. Just ask them first," said Zhang Dabao.

"Dongxu, Zhuzi, Shoucheng and your sixth uncle are here," Zhang Cuihua shouted at the Moon Gate.

"Mom, we are at my seventh uncle's house," Jia Dongxu replied, then opened the door and went out to the middle courtyard. He Yuzhu, He Yushui and Zhang Dabao also went out to greet him.

It turned out that Zhang Dasen and Zhang Shoucheng came to give holiday gifts to Zhang Cuihua, Zhang Lianhua and Zhang Dabao. The gifts were not much, just two cans of food, two packs of snacks and two bottles of wine for each of the three families.

"Sixth brother, just give it to the eldest and second sisters. I am not married yet. Wait until next year when I marry Yu Shui and let the children come," said Zhang Dabao, holding the things.

"No, that won't work. This is a little gift from Shoucheng and his family. Isn't his aunt here? We can just arrange the marriage in the village," said Zhang Dasen.

"Okay, what you said makes sense. Please come in and sit down." Everyone went to Zhang Dabao's house together. Because the Jia family had children, it was not very convenient.

"Da Biao, Director Zhang sent someone to find us today and gave us the recruitment form. He said that you have made great contributions this time, and you gave the credit to us," said Zhang Dasen.

"What's the point of giving up? What's the use of my merits? Can I still move up? I'm only twenty-one years old, and I'll be twenty-two after the new year. Besides, I'm not married yet. I don't care about the things you gave me. It's just right to give them to you. If I give them to you, it will be six families, and we brothers can all have a good life," said Zhang Dabao.

"Da Biao, I won't say thank you anymore, but we will all remember your kindness in our hearts. We can't repay it, so let Shouzhi and the others go," said Zhang Dasen.

"We're getting too far ahead of ourselves. Living a good life is better than anything else. If you save some money, don't forget to settle down in the city. It's not good to always live in someone else's place," Zhang Dabao said to Zhang Dasen, Zhang Shoucheng and others.

"We will go back tomorrow. Are you going back?" Zhang Dasen asked his brother.

"Our unit will hold a meeting tomorrow morning. I will go back the day after tomorrow to visit the graves," said Zhang Dabao.

"Then let's go home for lunch and make dumplings," said Zhang Dasen.

"Okay." Zhang Dabao went to the east wing and took out six bundles of leeks and gave them to Zhang Dasen and Zhang Shoucheng, and divided them among the families.
